George McCormick has recently become a partner at BakerHostetler, joining the law firm’s tax practice group and private wealth planning team, and will be operating out of the New York office. This information was confirmed by the firm itself on Wednesday.
This move involves McCormick providing high-level counsel on a variety of sophisticated tax matters, including gifting fund interests, grantor-retained annuity trusts, intentionally defective grantor trusts, charitable trusts, and using life insurance strategies as part of wealth management.
Prior to joining BakerHostetler, McCormick worked at the Florida Department of Revenue, where he focused primarily on Florida tax and administrative affairs. This broad base of experience places him in good stead to provide astute advice and counsel to BakerHostetler’s client base.
McCormick’s addition to BakerHostetler expands the firm’s already substantial reach and expertise in the area of tax law, while also enhancing its private wealth planning capabilities for clients in New York and beyond.
